Notes for ANDREAS EBY:
Andreas Eby, was probably born about 1695 in the town of Baiertal near Heidelberg in the Province of Baden, Germany and was most likely a son of Jacob Ebe who was well known in the area of Germany known as the Kraichgau.
He was no doubt a miller, an occupation which was that of his probable Uncle Durst (Theodorus) Eby. About the year 1720, he was married to Barbara Bachmann and appears to have had at least two children before his departure to America.
About 1727, he made the journey up the Rhine to the city of Rotterdam in Holland.
In the spring of 1728 he sailed on the ship "Mortonhouse" which arrived in Philadelphia on August 24, 1728.
He moved to Lancaster County at once since he already had relatives there and took up residence near the village of Manheim on the Chickies Creek, where he worked as a farmer and miller.
His tract of land which encompassed 226 acres was patented to him on November 28, 1748.
It now appears from the gap between his children's ages that he was married twice, and that his second wife's name may have been Elizabeth.
Andreas Eby, made his Last Will and Testament on March 23, 1763, passed away some time in September of 1769, and was probably buried on his farm property. In his will he does not mention all his children and this was no doubt because some already owned land. In Deed R219 which was dated October 24, 1776, about seven years after Andreas Eby had passed away, it mentions other children and time and time again we read Christian Eby, with his wife Catharine.
The listing of children for Andreas Eby, has grown in size since we reported it in the first volume of our publication and we now have many more dates and the names of more wives to include here as well. In this volume we also include Jacob Eby, who we list as another son of Andrea, whom we believe was dead before 1765 and therefore not mentioned in any documents of his father's estate. To this Jacob Eby, we have attributed the children we moved from Johannes (John) Eby, son of George Eby, in our first two volumes, so please revise your records accordingly.
*************************************************
ANDREAS Eby, another immigrant (likely the son of Jacob Ebe and related to Theodorus Eby), as born 1695 in the town of Baiertal near Heidelberg, Germany. About 1720 he married Barbara Bachman and in 1728 sailed on the Mortonhouse, arriving in Philadelphia on August 24, 1728. They settled near Manheim in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, on the Chickies Creek, where they became members of the White Oak congregation. Andreas was the father of Brethren minister ANDREAS Eby (1742-98), who moved to York Co., Pennsylvania, then to Maryland. Relationship with the Brethren is through this line of Andreas Eby."
Spelling Variations - More on Andreas
"In our many years of research into the family of Theodorus Eby , we were never able to truly pinpoint his activities in Germany. For some time we believed that he may have traveled directly from Switzerland to Holland. For the first time last year, however, we found a list from the "Heidelberger Schutzgeld" (Heidelberg Protection money) which seems to list an Ursen Ebe who along with his family were taxed eight Florins in Mannheim, Germany in 1711.23 (See illustration No. 9) The really confusing point, however, is that some seven additional Ebys are also listed, three with the spelling Ewy, one with the spelling Eby, and three with the spelling Ebe. This left us at a complete loss not being sure just who they were. After spending much time analyzing this document we believe we have come to the correct conclusions.
1) In Bayerthal
a) Peter Ewy remained for some time in Germany before migrating to Falkenstein, in Galizien. He was a brother to Christoph and Andreas Ewy on this list and probably a son of Jacob Ebe listed under Sinsheim.
b) Christoph Ewy remained for some time in Germany before migration to Falkenstein, in Galizien. He was a brother to Peter and Andreas Ewy on this list and probably a son of the Jacob Ebe listed under Sinsheim.
c) Andreas Ewy emigrated to America in 1728. He was a brother to Peter and Christoph Ewy on this list and probably a son of the Jacob Ebe listed under Sinsheim. He is the first of Dr. J. Brian Eby's lineage to arrive in America. "
